Friend, 

Growing up, I learned that through hard work, I could break barriers and achieve anything I set my mind to.

So after becoming a commissioned officer in the U.S. Military, I learned to fly a helicopter and became one of the first handful of women to fly combat missions in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Then my Blackhawk was shot down over Iraq, costing me both legs and partial use of my right arm. I spent a long, painful year in Walter Reed Hospital undergoing surgeries and intensive physical therapy to relearn how to walk on my new prosthetic legs.

But I’m a fighter, so I turned these experiences into an opportunity to become a champion for Veterans. I ran for Congress and eventually won a seat in the U.S. Senate, where I’m still breaking barriers. In 2018, I became the first sitting Senator to give birth and bring a baby onto the Senate floor so I could care for my child and do my job at the same time.

I’ve overcome so many obstacles and continue to be a fierce advocate for our troops, Veterans and military families in Washington. But Michael and I are both facing tough re-election battles and need your help to stay in the Senate. So please:

Can you split a contribution to re-elect Senator Michael Bennet and me so we can continue this important work? We are asking for $5 but any amount you can give will go a long way.

Thank you for being on our team.

All our best,

Tammy
